On Wednesday, December28, my 91-year-old father, Balgobin Ramdeen, retired attorney-at-law, author, and former Member of Parliament for Caroni East, passed away in a London hospital. He had been ailing for a while. By the time you read this he would have been cremated. His ashes will be brought back to Trinidad.
We thank everyone for their kind tributes. Pa’s granddaughter, Caroline, said: “Goodbye beautiful grandpa, you instilled great values in all of us and gave us all a chance to live a good life.You will be greatly missed…May your values and wisdom live on in all of us.”
